The first colours of spring here tend to be from scilla, an early blooming flower that one finds here and there, usually blooming in the late stages of April. I photographed some in the Garden of the Provinces and Territories downtown.
On another day, I was up by Central Park in the north end of the Glebe, where I know they bloom as well. These were in a part of the east side of the park.
Many of the scilla in this park are near to the above location, on a shady, east facing slope amid rocks. They are a cheerful sight to see, a true sign of the spring.
Scilla is such a lovely early sign of spring—delicate pops of blue that quietly announce the season’s arrival. The Garden of the Provinces and Territories must have looked especially charming with them in bloom.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteA real camera with a macro lens would have worked well here, just saying.

ReplyDeleteThe Leafs may surprise you this year, William.
If they ever win in my lifetime, I will have to change my name, go offline, and move. I'd never hear the end of it.
